GRR: Majestics
Here's a quick look at the NAI 7s.
U18 EliteRebel Rugby Academy White won the Boys U18 Elite in dramatic fashion, coming back from a 12-7 deficit at halftime to win 26-24 over Next Phase Rugby. This was exactly the matchup last year and Rebel came away with a close win then, too.
Pool play isn't done in the NAI 7s Girls Elite but Belmont Shore and Majestics are looking good.
Both of these teams, who, coincidentally, were the finalists in the National HS Club Championships, are 3-0 after Day One.
Two more games remain before anyone plays a final, and Belmont Shore and Majestics don't play each other until Round 5.
We have our national Girls HS Club finalists after Day One of action at Girls Nationals at the Wisconsin Rugby Complex in Cottage Grove, Wisc.
Majestics were outstanding in their two games. They had too much athleticism and speed of play for Aspetuck, and while the Connecticut team defended and played hard, Majestics was too quick and won 27-7.
The Rugby Advantage blazed through a very difficult U18 Girls Elite bracket to win the NAI 7s, highlighted by two very tough victories over the all-conquering Majestics.
After an opening week that was somewhat muddled, the Utah Youth Rugby Girls Fall 7s season has clarified a little with Majestics getting some separation from the competition.
